FAQs?
Why do we separate the eggs?
Egg when beaten after being separated gives a good soft spongy thickness to your cake and it is always considered good to beat the egg yolks and egg whites separately.
Can we add sour cream to our ingredients?
The addition of sour cream or hip cream is good in cream cakes but in this special chocolate cake, the sour cream is not added to show a difference between the two recipes.
